Gin likes me?

Of course, in Sonoko's words, she only contacted her good friend Xiaolan. As for that bastard Kudo Shinichi who liked to show off, he originally wanted to go out with Xiaolan, but found that Suzuki Sonoko got there first, so she asked curiously. Then she learned that this trip would also be attended by Uozuka Saburo, whom she admired very much and whom she had been getting along with for many years and who was almost like Sherlock Holmes in her heart. So he said without hesitation that he wanted to come too.

Although they always seem to dislike each other, Suzuki Sonoko is not a bad-hearted child after all. In addition, with Xiaolan's persuasion, she simply said a few words to Kudo Shinichi who followed her.

As a result, the number of people traveling increased from three to five.

However, for Saburo Uozuka and Ayako Suzuki, taking care of one child is the same as taking care of three children.

A medium-sized RV was selected from the cars that Suzuki Ayako bought for Saburo Uozuka, and the self-driving tour around Tokyo began happily with Saburo Uozuka as the driver.

Neither of the parents had any concerns about their children being taken out to play by Uozuka Saburo and Suzuki Ayako.

Let's not talk about Kogoro Mori's side, that was all a cooperative battle with Uozuka Saburo, and the trust in Uozuka Saburo even exceeded Uozuka Saburo's own imagination.

As for Kudo Yusaku, although he has always been curious about the identity of Uozuka Saburo and felt that Uozuka Saburo would not be a simple base coach, after knowing each other for so many years, Kudo Yusaku felt that Uozuka Saburo would not be a bad person and was very relieved.

After all, the boyfriend of a daughter of the Suzuki Group would never be a crooked person.

"What's wrong, Mr. Uozuka? Why are you so quiet?"

Sitting in the courtyard of a rental villa in the scenic area, Suzuki Ayako put down the brewed tea, smiled and looked at the three children playing together not far away on the chairs with a resentful look.

"Nothing. I just saw Sonoko and the others playing there, and suddenly I felt like an adult."

Scratching his hair, Saburo Uozuka smiled with emotion, stretched out his arms and slowly hugged Suzuki Ayako who was sitting next to him.

"Is that so? Then it seems that in my heart I am still much younger than Mr. Uozuka, because I don't feel that way~"

Looking at Uozuka Saburo who held her in his arms with a smile, Suzuki Ayako tilted her head slightly and leaned on Uozuka Saburo's solid chest, enjoying this hard-earned peaceful time.

"Haha, that's right, my Ayako is in her prime, unlike someone like me who looks old and sophisticated."

Smiling and shaking his head, Uozuka Saburo also recovered from the sudden emotion he had before.

It's really outrageous that I'm wondering if I'm old when I'm not even 25 years old.

"After Mr. Uozuka's vacation this time, will you be busy again?"

After the two of them were silent for a long time, Suzuki Ayako, who was in Uozuka Saburo's arms, suddenly moved, changed to a more comfortable position, and whispered, breaking the atmosphere between them.

"It's possible. Although there is no specific order yet, I always have a feeling that the organization seems to be preparing to do something again."

Nodding slightly, Uozuka Saburo did not hesitate to answer Suzuki Ayako's question.

After experiencing the previous planned action in which Suzuki Ayako participated, Uozuka Saburo was not so opposed to Suzuki Ayako's participation in some decisions concerning his organization.

Of course, Uozuka Saburo's bottom line is that Suzuki Ayako can only participate in the decision-making of the plan, and Suzuki Ayako is not allowed to personally participate in the specific implementation of any plan.

This is a guarantee of safety for Suzuki Ayako.

"This kind of international criminal organization is really too troublesome. Although we have been preparing for many years, we have no way to deal with it unless we can wipe it out in one fell swoop and make it completely unable to organize subsequent retaliatory forces."

Holding Uozuka Saburo's big hand, Suzuki Ayako muttered somewhat aggrievedly about her dissatisfaction with the organization.

She felt sorry for Uozuka Saburo and also for herself.

Suzuki Ayako knew very well that as long as Uozuka Saburo did not deal with the organization full of killers, Uozuka Saburo would never be able to truly live a life in the sun and would never be able to be truly with her.

Over the years, they have been working hard for freedom, and although the situation is getting better, it cannot be achieved immediately.

Such waiting really makes people anxious.

"Okay, don't worry Ayako. We are not the only ones working towards this goal. We also have many comrades and companions working together towards this goal. I believe we will succeed one day!"

Uozuka Saburo held Suzuki Ayako tightly in his arms. He was more open-minded about his current condition than Suzuki Ayako.

He has never underestimated the organization he belongs to, so before making sure that he can completely overthrow the organization, Uozuka Saburo will never act rashly.

He is no longer the killer who had no worries except Kurosawa Hotaru.

After so many years, when Uozuka Saburo occasionally looked back, he was surprised to find that he had accumulated so many bonds and friendships.

They chose to trust Uozuka Saburo, so Uozuka Saburo had to take responsibility for their lives.

"Let's take it slow. I believe that day won't be too far away."

. . .

"Mr. Rum, this is the report submitted by Cherry Brandy."

The hand that was writing something slowly paused. Rum, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head and took the small report from Kusora's hand with an expressionless face.

"No problem, is that their judgment?"

After quickly finishing reading the report in his hand, Rum threw the document onto the table like trash.

"Yes, after half a month of supervision, the action team and the intelligence department have reached a consensus. Of course, this is the first phase report. They will also have a one-month second phase tracking plan, but it still needs your approval, Mr. Rum."

As if he had anticipated Rum's action, Kusora's expression did not change at all, and he just gave his answer calmly.

She knew very well that compared to a report that Rena Mizunashi was 'safe', what the man in front of her wanted was a report that was 'gainful'.

"Forget it. If we don't find anything in half a month, there will be no results in a month. Although Kiel is still a bit green among the cadres, he is not someone that the ordinary members of the action team can track down. It's not worth wasting the existing cadres in the organization for this."

Rum picked up the cold coffee and took a sip, then let out a breath in annoyance.

"And with the judgment of Vodka and the gate, there shouldn't be any problem for Kiel."

His eyes flickered slightly. As a cadre who served as Rum's secretary, Kusora really saw Rum's trust in others just from Uozuka Saburo.

"Excuse me, Mr. Rum, but I think you have given Vodka too much trust."

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Kusola hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question in his mind.

"Not to mention the special powers that Vodka has in the organization, the fact that he has an action team arranged with your permission has already made other members of the organization somewhat confused and dissatisfied."

"Because after the Great Purge, when the organization was rebuilt, you, Mr. Rum, clearly set the rules of action for our Neon Organization, which is to temporarily pair up members according to the mission, and try to keep the members of each mission different. But this rule seems to have never worked for Vodka."

"Are you confused? Kusora."

Looking up slightly, at Kusora standing in front of the desk, Rum, who was about to take a short break, did not mind simply explaining the situation to his subordinate who lacked brain power.

"To put it simply, I value Vodka because the organization he came from is trustworthy and because of his outstanding ability to act. More importantly, behind such a monstrous member, there is an even more monstrous person. The most troublesome thing for me is that the relationship between the two of them is so good that I have no way to destroy it."

"You mean, Gin?"

His eyes flickered. Rum's words were shallow enough that Kusola immediately thought of the super killer who was able to call the shots in the headquarters of the magnesium organization.

"Since the two of them came to prominence, both I and Chivas from Magnesium have had a tacit understanding, that is, we will keep one from the Japanese organization and they will keep one from the Magnesium organization."

"With the abilities of vodka and gin, they will eventually grow into pillars of the organization."

"But after so many years of hard work, using all means possible without damaging their relationship with the organization, we have not made any progress."

"No matter how we try, the two of them have only one attitude, that is, they must be together."

"After this situation was clarified, things became more complicated to deal with."

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Rum looked at Kusora in front of him with a half-smile and said in a vague tone.

"Are you still curious about the latter part, Kusora?"

"...I am not curious anymore, Mr. Rum. My break time is over and I have to continue working. Is there anything else I need to do?"

He shook his head decisively. It was refreshing to satisfy his curiosity, but Kusola knew more clearly how cautious he needed to be if he wanted to live better and safer in this organization.

"Really, that's such a shame."

Picking up the pen on the table again, Rum looked down at the documents on the table, as if he didn't notice Kusora who was about to leave without receiving instructions.

"By the way, Kusora, Vodka is still on vacation now, right?"

"Yes, according to the previous application, Vodka still has three days of vacation left, and he doesn't seem to be in Tokyo at the moment."

Kusola stopped moving and expressed his meaning in a very calm manner.

No one in the organization can track Saburo Uozuka's whereabouts. If you want to find out about him, the only way is to call.

"Three days? Don't worry. When he returns to the organization to report, remember to notify me."

His lowered eyes flickered twice. Rum knew that not interfering with Saburo Uozuka's private life was his bottom line.

There must be a reason for making groundless accusations. Since so many people are spreading gossip about Uozuka Saburo, it means that Uozuka Saburo must have more than one female friend in private.

Although he really wanted to investigate whether the backgrounds of those women were safe enough and whether they would have any impact on the organization, in the end Rum suppressed his desire.

If I offend Saburo Uozuka because of this matter, it would be more trouble than gain.

"I'm fine here, you can go down."

"Yes, Mr. Rum."

582: Mr. Rum, are you serious?

"Any news from you?"

Holding the steering wheel of the off-road vehicle with one hand, Saburo Uozuka was driving towards the organization's base, holding the phone in his right hand and asked in a subtle tone.

"Unfortunately, there is no news at all."

The same subtle voice came from the phone. Kimura Ying, who checked all recent mission reports and instruction manuals as quickly as possible, said that he did not find anything.

"Do you think that maybe Rum wants to keep in touch with you regularly, so he asked you to come over?"

"Don't be funny. Do you think Rum is the kind of person who likes to waste time on such unimportant things?"

With a disdainful snort, Uozuka Saburo felt that Kimura Takashi should change his habit of talking nonsense.

As for the people that Uozuka Saburo knows in the organization, every one of them is more humane than that guy Rum.

Expecting Rum to build relationships with his subordinates? It would be better to tell Uozuka Saburo that Rum would call the boss regularly to flatter him.

"That makes sense, but I don't gain anything from that."

His fingers stopped typing on the computer. Looking at the intelligence files filling four screens, Kimura Ying pinched his brows and closed them one by one.

"There are many times when I feel that my role as the deputy director of the Intelligence Department is actually meaningless. You see, the general intelligence that I can collect and organize is basically all information that I can find out with some effort. The intelligence that really needs to be kept confidential will basically not pass through the hands of our intelligence department when carrying out missions."

"Compared to the action team, the intelligence team should be relatively safer, but even we don't have Rum's 100% trust."

What Kimura Takashi said was the truth. Compared to the action team cadres who were a mixed bunch and placed more emphasis on personal ability and individual combat level, the intelligence department basically would not recruit people from outside.

Those who can enter the intelligence department, except for some talents who are trained by the organization in the direction of intelligence from the beginning as reserve cadres, the remaining positions are held by members who can graduate from the training camp but whose level is not high enough to enter the action group to handle front-line action tasks.

Not to mention comprehensive abilities, just from the aspect of identity and background, it is definitely the safest part.

As for the current action team, Saburo Uozuka felt it would be better not to mention it.

The organization's own base can no longer produce any useful talents, and external expansion is a double-edged sword that hurts the organization badly.

All we can say is that the road ahead is worrying.

"Want to gain Rum's trust? Did you drink yesterday and still not sober up?"

Faced with the trust issue raised by Kimura Takashi, Uozuka Saburo could only express his opinion with a sneer.

"Don't even mention us. The person in the organization who has spent the longest time with Rum should be Kusora. I dare say that even Kusora does not have Rum's absolute trust. People like him are suspicious in their bones. I don't think he will trust anyone except himself."

"Even the boss can't do that?"

"You are just being argumentative. Why does he need to trust the boss? Isn't it just that Rum can only do what the boss tells him to do?"

After cursing in a bad mood and looking at the camouflaged building of the base that had come into sight not far ahead, Uozuka Saburo twisted his neck and quickly interrupted the conversation with Kimura Takashi.

"Wait for news from me. I want to see why Rum asked me to come here."

"Got it, I'll hang up now."

With one hand, he took back the disconnected mobile phone, and Saburo Uozuka skillfully turned the car into the underground parking garage of the building, and then walked to the entrance of the elevator.

"Mr. Vodka."

Seeing Saburo Uozuka walking over with sunglasses on, the two men in black standing in front of the door as guards nodded quickly and took the initiative to press the elevator button.

"Ah."

With a light snort as a greeting, Uozuka Saburo slowly walked into the elevator and pushed his glasses, wondering in his mind whether he would have the chance to leak this experimental base.

'Forget it. If problems continue to arise at the experimental base, Rum will continue to reduce the number of people in the organization who know about the experimental base. In addition, in more than a year, Shiho will have to return to work for the organization in Japan. If there are too few experimental bases, it will have a big impact on Shiho. If she cannot turn her knowledge into research that is useful to the organization, the boss may not agree to let Shiho stay in Japan.'

After much thought, he gave up this tempting idea. When the elevator rang and the door opened, Saburo Uozuka looked up and saw Kusora, a man with silver hair and a small suit, standing at the door waiting for him.

"This is the first time I see you in such a bright place."

With his mouth wide open, he laughed and made a joke, and Uozuka Saburo acted very naturally.

After all, his reputation in the organization is now irreparable. In this case, he might as well make the best of a bad situation and confirm his somewhat lustful identity, which will also make Rum feel more at ease.
